Partly granted
The Board granted a 100 percent rating for PTSD effective October 1, 2023, and denied an earlier effective date for DEA benefits based on permanent and total disability status prior to that date.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's PTSD manifested as total social and occupational impairment from October 1, 2023, justifying the assignment of a 100 percent rating.
